What must a person do to restore their firearm rights after a felony conviction in New Mexico?

Complete a firearms safety class
Apply for a pardon that specifically restores firearm rights
Wait a period of 10 years
Nothing; rights are automatically restored after serving time

The correct answer is: Apply for a pardon that specifically restores firearm rights

In New Mexico, a person with a felony conviction must apply for a pardon specifically restoring their firearm rights. This means that they must go through the process of applying for a pardon and have a specific mention of their firearm rights being restored in the pardon. Option A is incorrect because simply completing a firearms safety class does not automatically restore firearm rights. Option C is incorrect because while there is a waiting period of 10 years, it is not automatic and the person must still go through the process of applying for a pardon. Option D is incorrect because firearm rights are not automatically restored after serving time in New Mexico. A pardon is still required for restoration of those rights.
